An anti missile missile is still a missile. If it has a rocket engine, a payload and some sort of guidance system (as opposed to rockets) it is called a missile. And generally if it knows where it is by knowing where it isn’t you have a modern missile. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bZe5J8SVCYQ

As someone who has fasted for Ramadan the first time this year i can assure you, that nobody was controlling me except myself. While i also felt it to help me physically, it helped me a lot mentally.

I learned to appreciate the abundance of food and water we have and to have more compassion for people lacking it.

I also learned to have more control over my body and differentiate between actual needs and mere wants.

Ramadan does not have rules about what to eat. The rules are when to eat and quie straightforward. During Ramadan you fast from Dawn till sunset, unless fasting poses a risk to your health (sick, children, elderly, pregnant…)

Problem is that without political consequences, the politicians have no interest in addressing the problems.

They fear losing AIPAC money. They dont fear people who say that they will vote them no matter what, because they think they are the lesser of the two evils or something like that.

They dont care who you are or what you want. They dont care if you are doing well or getting fucked royally by their policies. They only care if you vote for them or not.

These are not rules of Islam though. On the contrary Islam made many rules of Judaism obsolete, taking away complication in religion. Islam also provided a much clearer theology than Christianity and specifically rejects the “trinity”, “holy people” and other concepts contrary to the oneness of god.

What the Taliban and other Salafi/Wahabi people do, is quite fringe and it is infuriating that the Brits and later the Americans helped the Saudis to seize power in Arabia and furthered these extremist interpretations.

I fail to get the distinction. Disagreeing/agreeing and disrespecting/respecting are two different concepts to me.

Since this was an employment tribunal i would assume the ruling also applies to all sorts of employments under labor protection laws. I don’t care if my boss agrees with me politically or not. But he better damn not be disrespecting/persecuting me for my political beliefs.

Obviously the “democratic society” is integral to it anyways. E.g. there is no need or expectation for pluralism under an authoritarian regime. Meanwhile democratic societies can and should impose certain limits, like when it comes to dehumanization and calls for crimes against people based on their ethnicity, religion, gender…

Obligatory recommendation of the “Hypernormalisation” documentary by Adam Curtis.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gr7T07WfIhM

The term was coined by a Russian novelist during the last years of the Sowjet Union, when the disparity between the lies of normality and the reality of people became so strong, that the fake normality became “Hypernormal”. Curtis explores the applicability of this term in regards to global politics, that increasingly went from shaping reality, to managing it.

Defense officials who were asked to respond to the Eiland plan pointed out that it violated international law and that the chances of the United States and the international community supporting it were virtually zero. They said it would further undermine the legitimacy of Israel’s entire Gaza offensive.

Well, it is almost two weeks now that northern Gaza is under total siege, Ambulances and Hospitals are out of fuel, Children are being massacred with drones, and the US announced sending troops to Israel and Germany annoujced to continue arms shipments…

While somewhat sane countries are demanding arms embargos and sanctions on Israel, its lap-dogs remain steadfast in supporting it, no matter how much they get beaten and pissed on by their master.

Yeah, this is what is confusing me. Every article i found spoke of a murder conviction, which in Germany should always be “lebenslang”

That is where sending in the US troops to get them attacked and justify a great war comes in.

I am a bit confused. In Germany there is no x years for murder. The only punishment for murder is life long imprisonment, with the possibility to get out on parole after 15 years.

There is also Manslaughter with 5 to life.

I wonder how the people in Vietnam and Cambodia feel, watching people burning alive After being bombed again.

Trump pulled most troops out of Iraq and Afghanistan. Sure he doesnt care about the soldiers life, but he isnt committed to being a war hawk. He just does random stuff.

I think we will see instead that the US will let its support for Ukraine dry up, as it focuses on helping Israel blow up the entire West Asia region.

As it stands Europe will get fucked double as Russia will capture most of Ukraine, displacing another 10-20 Million Ukrainians and the great war in West Asia will bring another 100-200 Million refugees.

The global economy will freefall as the Oil price will skyrocket, but this helps both the US and Russia to keep their war chest filled, as the US has increased its Oil and Gas production capabilities.

So the one says it out loud, the other just keeps the intention quiet.

Both are equally sending weapons.

However with Trump we saw that he pulled American soldiers out of the region and he is much more unstable. So when American soldiers die, he could just decide to fold the whole thing again.

Hezbollah has claimed responsibility for the attack, which it said targeted a training camp of the Israeli Defence Forces’ (IDF) Golani Brigade in the area, which is based between Tel Aviv and Haifa.

The armed group’s media office said the strike was in response to Israeli attacks in southern Lebanon and Beirut on Thursday.

The group said it targeted the camp in northern Israel using a “swarm of drones”.

Israeli censorship rules prevent media outlets saying exactly where or what was targeted, but some media outlets say the location was hit by a low-level drone launched from Lebanon - a relatively unsophisticated weapon that appears not to have activated early warning alarms.

Would be nice if Israel let Journalists do their job. This way the only source on the targets is Hezbollah. Given the type of attack it seems probable though that they hit the claimed military base. If civilians were attacked i would be surprised, if the information would be under censorship.

Both also like forced labor of incarcerated people.

Which American Nazi party? As it stands there is two parties fully supporting this genocidal assault on the global order, and humanitarian law. There is two major parties that keep pledging support to Israel and arming it more and more. There is two major parties in the US, who want to see as many Arabs killed as possible. Just that the one party doesn’t say the quiet part out loud.

Also Israel already has about a hundred nukes.

An injured fighter is no longer a combatant and entitled to medical treatment like any other human being.

But by blowing up the ambulance so that only body parts can be found after, it can always be claimed that the patients were still healthy before being bombed.

Then let me clarify: the Democratic party politicians and officials in office, who exert the political party of the power.
